So using FaceTime and iMessage on the family iPhones is really easy - as it uses the phones mobile number to specify the desired device....

....but just looking at what I use ....I have two iMacs in house.....I also have a MacBook Pro that I sometimes use at home AND at work......a MacBook Air mainly for leisure use.......and two iPads used around the house for sofa surfing etc......

......all of these devices are registered to the same iTunes account and the same iCloud ID so that Contacts and Calenders are synced between the various devices........so the problem is that this means all of the devices share the same ID...so how does somebody FaceTime these devices and differentiate between which one they want to call???????
......as an example ......sometimes I am at the office using my MBPS....and want to put a FaceTime call into my wife using the iMac in the kitchen at home...........how do I set it up so I can elect which device I want to call?

Thanks
